13 Months

While I doubt I will continue to make time to do monthly pictures, I have time today, so here it is!

Amelia at 13 months is everywhere!  And into everything!  She's just a ball of energy and stops only to be held.  A few things we want to never forget:
* She's naughty in the bathroom; randomly flushes the toilet and pulls out toilet paper until we stop her
* She is naughty in her room; pulls wipes out of the warmer and diapers out of the basket
* She loves her sisters to push her on her bike but doesn't ride it herself
* She still has her bottle but she's eating so we're keeping it for this month at least
* She still has her binki; the other two girls had it long gone by 8 and 9 months
* She still likes to be rocked with her bottle at night.  I love the time with her.
* She is teething and some days are rough.
* She still usually takes two naps

Merry Christmas 2025

  Click on the photo to view our 1 Second Everyday video for 2025 Merry Christmas! As we look back on 2025, our hearts are full and we’re counting our many blessings.   Jenna is thriving at Trinity Bible College in Ellendale, ND. She’s found a wonderful group of friends who feel like family, and we’re so blessed by the way they love and support her. Trinity Volleyball wrapped up a strong season filled with fast kills and competitive matchups, and Jenna was honored to earn a spot on 1st Team All-Region. Her growth this year has amazed us—she continues to build on her talent with grit and determination. Last spring she had a memorable missions trip to Darlington, England, and she’s already preparing for her next adventure: traveling to South Africa this March to minister to students during the college’s annual Go Trip. Carrie, now 17, recently returned from the ND State Volleyball Tournament, where the Bulldogs finished 6th in the State B. Her work ethic—on and off the court—con...

Merry Christmas 2024

Merry Christmas! This has been a big year for our family, full of wonderful memories, celebration, and change. In May, Jenna graduated from high school as the salutatorian. Her accomplishments were impressive but her speech made us swell with pride. Jenna spent the summer babysitting for our dear friends in Bismarck, a wonderful transition time for all of us. In August, we helped her move into the dorms at Trinity Bible College and she has been blessed in the process as she learns, grows, and finds community. She got to play a lot of Lions volleyball this fall, and we had some fun family adventures traveling to her games. She’s really looking forward to a TBC “GO trip” to minister in England in March! Carrie is now the oldest at home and just finished a great volleyball season as a solid middle hitter. Basketball is next. She got her driver's license and turned 16 this year, so she’s enjoying the independence of driving “her” Dakota. She and Jenna were blessed to go on a mission tr...

Kittens

This will probably be a favorite picture forever. This Spring we had a stray tom cat sneak in and we had four litters of kittens, 18 in all!  This litter of kittens loves playing with Amelia and will chase her around sometimes. She certainly loves them, and usually does a good job of handling the kittens with care. I said usually. She has just turned three. We'll let this one slide. Everyone escaped unharmed. =)
